Hour-By-Hour Weather for Malden Heading Toward Possible Weekend Snow

It’s official — Winter is here.

And it’s here to stay.

Falling temperatures and increasing winds have made for a frigid start to the week, as windchill factors gave a single-digits feel as soon as 5 p.m. Monday. Wind gusts up to 39 miles per hour were reported in the late evening.

The Tuesday morning wake-up saw temperatures in the teens and sub-zero windchills, according to the National Weather Service. And early Wednesday reports don’t look much more promising.

This is all, of course, leading up to a possible weekend snowstorm.
